Thank you for your interest in employment at Indiana Wesleyan
University—a place where world changing people and life

following materials, which are central to our mission of developing
world changing Christian students in character, scholarship
and leadership:
Mission, Vision and Core Values
Statement of Educational Mission
and Employment Standards
Indiana Wesleyan University is a Christian liberal arts university
sponsored by The Wesleyan Church. The University purposes to
Search for truth by study in liberal arts and in professional
education within the framework of Christian faith and philosophy
so that the person is developed for service to God and man in
the church and society. Moreover, we desire to relate every
facet of life and scholarship to a Christian world view under
the Lordship of Jesus Christ so that faith might illuminate
learning and learning might clarify and expand faith. Rather
than limiting our quest for truth or stifling our creativity,
such a commitment actually sets us free to explore, learn, invent,
analyze, criticize, and think within loving obedience in the
God "in whom we live and move and have our being."
Therefore, Indiana Wesleyan University seeks to employ persons
who subscribe to its educational mission and whose personal
and professional lives reflect:
1. A belief in and commitment to Jesus Christ and the Christian
Faith as these are interpreted through the historic witness
of the Bible and the contemporary ministry of the Holy Spirit.
2.A vitality of Christian experience which is maturing in insight
and application, and which is appreciative of differing viewpoints.
3.Evident competence and commitment to the continuing development
of one's abilities.
4.A commitment to liberal arts education and preparation to
serve in an environment of purposeful and rigorous inquiry.
5.A capability, by temperament, preparation, and will, to support
students as they confront the intellectual, social, physical,
emotional, and spiritual challenges of their lives.
6.A sensitivity and support for the ethos and traditions of
the campus community, which includes abstaining from the use
of tobacco and alcohol as well as the practices of gambling
and dancing.
Community Lifestyle Statement
Indiana Wesleyan University, as a Wesleyan Christian College,
is a community joined together to further academic achievement,
personal development and spiritual growth. Together the Community
seeks to honor Christ by integrating faith,learning, and living
while its member's hearts and lives mature in relationship to
Jesus Christ and each other.
Working in a community with others is a sacred privilege and
a demonstration of God's grace. We, therefore, place great value
on the quality of relationship in our Community. This quality
is emulated by the following relationship characteristics:being
dependant and accountable to one another; serving one another
in the Community, nation and world; supporting one another,
especially those experiencing personal trials; resolving problems
through loving confrontation; and restoring relationships that
have been hurt.
Faith in God's Word should lead to behavior displaying His authority
in our lives. The following statements exhibit our continuing
desire to integrate faith, and action in a relevant manner.
However, these positions are not set forth as an index of Christianity.
Scripture teaches that certain attributes such as love, joy,
peace, patience,kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness,
and self-control are to be manifested by members of the Christian
Community. By contrast, Scripture condemns such attitudes as
greed, jealousy, pride, lust, needless anger, an unforgiving
spirit,harmful discrimination, and prejudice. Furthermore, certain
behaviors are expressly prohibited by Scripture. These include
theft, lying, dishonesty, gossip, slander,profanity, vulgarity,
adultery, homosexual behavior, premarital sex, drunkenness,
immodesty, and occult practices.
Scripture teaches that all our actions (work, study, play) should
be performed to the glory of God. We endeavor, therefore, to
be selective in choices of entertainment and recreation, promoting
those which strengthen the body of Christ and avoiding those
which would diminish sensitivity to Christian responsibility.
In violation of the scriptural teaching concerning personal
dignity and moral purity, individuals are exploited and degraded
by immoral and inhumane action of the pornographic industry.
Therefore, possession of such materials is unacceptable behavior.
Since the body of the Christian is the temple of the Holy Spirit,
deserving respect and preservation of its well being, we therefore
disapprove of the use of tobacco in any form and the use of
alcoholic beverages. Under no circumstances should controlled
substances such as marijuana, hallucinogens, depressants, stimulants,cocaine,
and narcotics be used, possessed , sold, or distributed on or
away from campus unless prescribed by a physician. Members are
expected not to abuse the use of legal substances .Scripture
teaches the stewardship of God-given resources. Therefore, we
disapprove of gambling (the exchange of money and goods by betting
or wagering in its various forms.).
A number of evangelical denominations have historically taken
a stand against social dancing as an expression of their commitment
to the Christ-exalting life. Our Community, considering itself
in the mainstream of the evangelical tradition and recognizing
the temptations inherent in the sensuous and erotic nature of
some social dancing, disapproves of participation by members
of the Community.
